Each of the three individual works is based on a differnet binding form, the codex, the concertina fold and the dos-a-dos strtucture. The titles allude to three cyclical questions about existence—realeasing or letting go, the conundrum of affirmative and contradictory texts and the interdependance between commodity and desire. Each structure is interactive and invites the viewer to participate with altering or turning the pages.
